> One crucial way in which we do this is through the democratization of highly curated data sources that sunshine usage and cost patterns across Netflix’s services and teams. No engineer has ever said this. I miss when engineering blogs were actual engineering. This blog post has been through so much management waffle rewording it no longer adds much to the conversation.
What they built sound nice and feature-rich but also quite complex. I just finished adding a (simplier) feature to the SaaS I am building. It generates individual reports with the list of resources owned by the user, the associated cost and flag for thise which are likely unused.
I will post of Show HN soon, but if you are interested in cloud efficiency, I would love you feedback! https://li10.com
Maybe not directly related, but I dislike how Netflix obviously provides only 1080p HD on desktop-computer playback, while full 4k on TVs. Has anyone found an easy hack to ensure playback happens in 4k on desktop as well (e.g. url parameter)?

"sunshine" - in corporate speak, no noun is too proper to verbify.

The more typical use case involves background TV running in multiple rooms. Much of what Netflix licenses and produces is made for this. Recently: "Casual Viewing – Why Netflix looks like that" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42529756 It's easy to blow past four with a screen, not necessarily a TV, going in every room.
Are there that many people with deep-fried brains like that?

Take any movie with dark scenes, and it'll look horrible regardless of 720p vs 4k.

Pirate sites obtain the high quality material as soon as it's launched anyway, so this kind of "protection" just adds friction for the paying user.
These restrictions are never there to prevent piracy. It’s there for corporates to be able to say that “we did everything”. They are there for legal reasons. That’s true for every single security features. It’s a side effect if some security feature is really effective. Most of them are just annoyance, they don’t prevent anything.
